3. Other equations:
4. D = VT
4. T = D/V

ride your bike 2 km to
school, what is your
average speed (v)?
3. Distance vs. time graph
3. Slope represents speed – the rate
that distance changes in relation
to time
3. Slope = rise/run
3. Time is on the X-axis
3. Distance is on the Y-axis
Person A begins
the task card
questions.
3. Speed (v) in a given direction
3. V is a vector
3. Magnitude and direction shown
by the length and direction of the
arrow.
3. Changes in velocity may be due
to changes in speed, direction, or
both
3. Weather – direction and
speed of storms
3. Air traffic controllers – have to
know V and direction of
planes
3. Riding a bike around curves
3. Others?.....
Person D begins the
task card questions.

2)
Using your task cards write
3 good questions. You
may not start your
question with “what is…?”
Write your summary which
must include the answers
to your questions.
2 strategies of your
choice that involve
vector, velocity,
speed, and average
speed.
Facts
You/Opinion
Velocity is speed
in a given
direction.
Describe in detail
what velocity is.
Velocity plays a role in your
daily life. Explain how
velocity affects you and
your daily activities. Use
complete sentences.
Describe acceleration using
Cornell notes, NTG, task cards,
and a Venn Diagram.
2. Rate at which velocity changes
with time
2. REMEMBER – a change in velocity
involves a change in speed,
direction, or both
2. Acceleration refers to increasing
speed, decreasing speed, or
changing direction
2 Increasing speed = acceleration
2. Decreasing speed = deceleration
2. Changing direction =
acceleration occurs any time the
direction changes
3. Example – car going around a
curve
3. Example – runner running
around a track
3. Calculation of change in velocity
per unit of time
3. Acceleration (a) = Final V – Initial V
Time
a= Vf-Vi
t
Calculate the acceleration of an airplane
if it’s initial velocity is 0 m/s and it’s final
velocity is 40 m/s if it takes the airplane to
reach this speed in 5 seconds.
As a roller coaster car starts down a slope,
its velocity is 4 m/s. But 3 seconds later,
its velocity is 22 m/s in the same
direction. What is its acceleration?
3. Speed vs. time graph
3. Time goes on the x-axis
3. Velocity goes on the y-axis.
Create a Venn Diagram to
compare/contrast graphing velocity vs
graphing acceleration
